We haven't had one of these in awhile! How's everyone doing with their healthy habits? I'm sure many of us slacked off a bit in first tri. Anyone getting back on the wagon? New goals? Healthy meals you'd like to share?

Re: Fit Mom Friday 2/23
I am not a healthy lifestyle person in general, too lazy and prone to food cravings, but before I found out I was pregnant I was trying to do some really basic stuff on the regular to get ready for pregnancy number 2. I'd started limiting snacks, sodas, sugary drinks and adding in more movement. I was doing a small number of squats, push-ups, sit ups, extra walking and some yoga here and there. If I may say, my humble (but difficult for me) attempts were very slowly paying off. I lost some of my extra weight and had started to improve my strength and stamina.
My current goal is to just keep moving and continue to limit snacks and drinks that don't provide good nutrition. Park a little farther away so I can walk a little more, purposely bring the groceries inside with 6 or 7 trips instead of 2, that type of thing, plus either some squats, push-ups or yoga any day I feel good enough to do so. Small goals for sure, but goals I feel I can reasonable meet
A few squats and some very light yoga on a few days, and generally healthy eating though now that I'm not so nauseous, has been nice.

My RE, and then OB, told me to stick to just walking until I was out of the 1st tri, maybe a few weeks after. This has been so hard!! I'm sure that I will have lost strength and stamina when I get back to it.
Goals- I am excited to be able to work out again in a few weeks. I would like to limit weight gain, as I put on a few extra pounds during treatments. My OB is on board with that and hasn't given me a set weight goal, but just said to limit it and we will watch the babies progress. I haven't gained anything yet and baby is still measuring ahead.
Meals- I have a few new recipes that I would like to try. Maybe we could start a recipe thread?
@stothi I was a health coach for a while and know for a fact that small relatively easily accomplished goals are best. Then just keep building on them. Sounds like you're doing well!
@pourmeamocktail I'm always so much more active when it's warm out. Hope the weather gets nice for you soon!
I've done pretty well with keeping up with yoga. Been going twice a week. Started doing some ab workouts (standing crunches, leg lifts, etc) since my belly is sticking out so much already. After the ab workouts it goes back in a bit. Now that I'm feeling better I'm hoping to get back to cooking three times a week and eating the left overs for lunch.

For workouts, I am doing a modified HIIT - it's more like...MIIT. Still interval training, still 45 seconds on, 15 seconds off, same exercises, but I am only pushing to a medium intensity. And TBH, one of my "intervals" is just doing kegels.
I actually joined a gym to go to on lunch break because it was cheap.... Hopefully i will feel up to going starting this week or next!
